PAPI_is_initialized(3)

hii bestie 💖 this is the PAPI manual page for PAPI_is_initialized (section 3, iykyk), and it is literally here to check for initialization. no cap. 🎀

---

💖 NAME

PAPI_is_initialized - check for initialization. That is the whole name, and it ate. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS

okay so the synopsis rolls straight into the detailed description — grab your iced coffee, bestie, because this is the whole tea. 🧚

🌸 Detailed Description

🎀 Return values

PAPI_is_initialized() can report these states, and yes, all four are accounted for:

• PAPI_NOT_INITED — Library has not been initialized
• PAPI_LOW_LEVEL_INITED — Low level has called library init
• PAPI_HIGH_LEVEL_INITED — High level has called library init
• PAPI_THREAD_LEVEL_INITED — Threads have been inited

🧚 Parameters

The parameter is version: upon initialization, PAPI checks the argument against the internal value of PAPI_VER_CURRENT when the library was compiled. This guards against portability problems when updating the PAPI shared libraries on your system. lowkey important 🫶

💅 Examples:

           int retval;
           retval = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
           if (retval != PAPI_VER_CURRENT && retval > 0) {
           fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!\en");
           exit(1); }
           if (retval < 0)
           handle_error(retval);
           retval = PAPI_is_initialized();
           if (retval != PAPI_LOW_LEVEL_INITED)
           handle_error(retval);

and then: PAPI_is_initialized() returns the status of the PAPI library. The PAPI library can be in one of four states, as described under RETURN VALUES. 💅
